Koch Fertilizer to Invest US$140 million in Fort Dodge Nitrogen Facility
Koch Fertilizer anticipates investing nearly US$140 million at its Fort Dodge plant in Iowa, US, to revamp existing production processes, which is expected to increase ammonia production capacity by 85 000 tpy. The investment also will further improve reliability as well as environmental and safety performance.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2021 and the revamped processes are expected to be fully operational by Autumn 2022.
“These investments reinforce our confidence in the future of the ammonia market and allow us to better serve our customers,” said Scott McGinn, Executive Vice President of Koch Fertilizer.
The project builds on previous projects that increased ammonia storage and improved loading at the plant. Koch Fertilizer recently spent around US$20 million to increase ammonia storage at the site by replacing and upsizing one of the site’s cryogenic storage tanks.
